How coaches on the hot seat affect players in the locker room

I said it in another thread and I'll say it again, would it have killed Danny to come out and say he supports Zorn? Let the players know he's going to be here and they need to step up? They supposedly had confidence in him when they named him HC and it would mean a lot to a 2nd year HC to be able to concentrate on the team instead of whether he's going to be replaced or not. The players too from what the article says. They made the decision to hire him and if they had any balls they'd come out with a statement to publicly say they support him. How can anyone concentrate on football with all the speculation and rumors going around? Step up Danny or Vinny! If you would have done this a couple of weeks ago things might be different. Even JC said he was thinking about Zorn losing his job in the first half of the Tampa game.
